This Morning viewers furious as show is dropped for Women’s Fifa World Cup in major schedule shake-up
THIS Morning viewers have been left furious as the show is dropped for the Women’s Fifa World Cup.
The flagship ITV daytime programme won’t broadcast this Thursday in a major schedule shake-up.
ITV are making way for rolling coverage of the Women’s Fifa World Cup.
The action will kick off directly after Lorraine Kelly’s show at 10:15am and run until 1:30pm.
It means Loose Women has also fallen victim to the schedule change and therefore won’t be on air either.
This Morning fans have been left furious by the change – as they swiped why sports had to be shown on ITV1.
One said: “The football could easily be on ITV2 as we all have it and leave the schedule alone.”
A second wrote: “I like my sports, but isn’t there enough sports channels to show that?”
“Shouldn’t have sport on ITV1 why can’t it just go on the sport channels that’s what their for,” raged a third.
While a fourth commented: “Great so now everyone has to watch.”
This Morning and Loose Women will return to their normal timeslots on Friday.
Dermot O’Leary was recently forced to apologise to viewers after a man appeared on the show wearing a hat plastered in the C-word.
Roving reporter Josie Gibson, 38, interviewed a couple of campers for a pre-recorded segment.
However, what producers appeared not to have spotted is that the man’s cowboy hat was absolutely covered in the word “c***”.
Instead, it fell to viewers to point out that the black hat with white text deserved closer scrutiny.
It appeared as part of the competition segment, where Josie was interviewing campervan owners – because the show was giving one away.
